Chapter 114: Don’t Use Your Hands
If only her mother had stopped giving birth to the Han family’s children, then Han Yichen would have done his best to nurture her.
"I don’t believe I cannot find her money." Han Ziyan snorted, and she rushed inside Han Ruochen’s room. However, she searched the entire room more than once, but even after she turned all sweaty and covered with dirt, nothing seemed to be working. Even when she searched the entire room, she couldn’t find a single penny. "Horrible! Horrible!" After sweating for so long, Han Ziyan didn’t even find a single cent.
When she saw that she had rummaged for so long and she didn’t find Han Ziyan, she was so angry that she wanted to wreck Han Ruochen’s room!
During that rainy night, she had indeed called her father and asked someone to arrange the drug for Han Ruochen. She wanted to ruin Han Ruochen in such a manner that no one would be able to help her again. Han Ziyan had everything planned out. Han Ruochen had a much better life planned out for her. She had a good fiancé, and her father cared for her. If Han Ruochen had married Yang Jianming, then even if Han Yichen talked about being an unbiased father, he would certainly have never married her off in the same grand manner as his biological daughter.
But if she had snatched the job from Han Ruochen, then she would have become the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, and after pushing Han Ruochen to the elder brother of Yang Jiangming, she would have thoroughly ruined Han Ruochen and labelled her as a shameless slut.
As such, even if she married Yang Jianming, she would be marrying him to make up for the ’mistake’ that her sister had made. No one would have thought negatively of her, and she would have climbed up a status higher by stepping on Han Ruochen.
And if her father had stopped her, then he would have become infamous; she would have made sure of it. She had even arranged for the other four Han siblings to be ruined as well. Even if she was not the Han family’s daughter, they owed it to her. They needed to make it up to her.
To put it bluntly, Han Ziyan wanted to suck the Han family’s blood like a leech until the last drop bled out.
Han Ziyan had it all planned out. However, there was a big gap between reality and ideal.
Han Ruochen refused to cooperate and stubbornly went against her. Not only did she ruin her reputation, but she also sold her job. And that was not all; she even tackled Han Jianyou and Han Beijiang’s problems. If this went on, then she was worried that she would end up getting sidelined by Han Yichen. After all, Han Yichen was the only one who earned, and he was now backing his children, who were supposed to be ’rebellious’ and ’useless’, like his life depended on it.
Now that Han Ruochen had solved most of the problems, Han Ziyan was worried that her mother would also abandon her.
After all, she had nothing good to offer, with all her good plans ending up in a fiasco.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Han Ziyan felt. She started rubbing her thighs. It would be too difficult for her to deal with Han Ruochen and her siblings now that things had started to get out of her control.
Han Ziyan felt like she was sitting on a hot pan.
She already had one thing to worry about, and now, because of Meng Yunhan’s words, she had to worry about other things as well.
While Han Ziyan was worried about the situation at home, Han Ruochen was looking at the damage caused by the typhoon.
Thankfully, the damage was minimal, and no one was harmed.
"Get the gear, and remember to bring two water bottles. The weather is too hot."
Han Ruochen had dug out two steel flasks from the storehouse of her home, which kept the water hot for a longer time.
"Sure," Tong Zhaodi nodded, and of course, Han Ruochen ignored the mark of a slap on her face. It wasn’t that she was a bad friend, but she truly could not understand what was going on with Tong Zhaodi and how much longer she could continue to act like a doormat for the Tong family. She could at most stretch her hand out for Tong Zhaodi to take, as for what to do. The decision ultimately lay with her.
Han Ruochen nodded and walked toward the reef. The water near the coast was way too muddy, and there were pink flamingos flying all over the place. She didn’t want to fight with these fiery red birds.
So she walked around the reef and headed straight toward the red mark shown on the screen of the system. As she arrived at the reef, she ran into Aunt Gossip. The woman looked at Han Ruochen with some envy in her eyes and then remarked with a smile, "Ruochen, are you here to show us your lucky feats again?"
Han Ruochen simply smiled and said, "Aunt, last night was too harsh on everyone. I don’t think there is much my luck can do."
As she spoke, she crouched down and picked three stranded turbot and placed them in her bucket.
Aunt Gossip: "..."
She turned to look at her son and questioned, "What is this? You just walked past this spot. How come you didn’t see these turbots, and she did?"
"Mom, don’t be angry with me. Everyone knows that turbots can change their colour according to their surroundings; my eyes are not as sharp as Han Ruochen’s. Of course, I couldn’t see it."
"You fool! Those turbots could sell for a hundred yuan each; that’s more than your father’s three months’ earnings."
"Ahhh!! Just scold me if you want to; there is no need to use your hands, Mom!"
